Dear Me,

I am writing this letter to myself about three goals I have for the future. First, in five years I will buy a house. I will start saving $100 extra every month in a savings account. Next, in I am going to get my American high school diploma in five or six years. After I finish my ESL classes, I will enroll in the adult high school classes at MiraCosta College. Finally, in 10 years I will start my own business. I am going to learn about how I can do it in the USA, and then I will have a landscaping company with my brother-in-law. In conclusion, I have set these goals for myself. I think I can accomplish them if I continue to work hard, save money, and study every day.

Sincerely,

Pancho Carrancho
